Becoming internally empowered shifts a person's center of gravity from external to internal- a mark of spiritual passage.

The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind

Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness.

When you do not seek or need approval, you are at your most powerful.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.

By far the strongest poison to the human spirit is the inability to forgive oneself or another person. Forgiveness is no longer an option but a necessity for healing.

Grant me the grace to dissolve my negative thoughts about myself today. I breathe the grace of kindness into my heart. And may the grace of healing flow abundantly to every one in need of help.

Never blame another person for your personal choices - you are still the one who must live out the consequences of your choices.

You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you'll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless.

There is no such thing as a simple act of compassion or an inconsequential act of service. Everything we do for another person has infinite consequences.

Being of service is not an option, it is a biological necessity. Every kind of action we do for someone is a reanimation of our own life force - and of the other person's.

Blessed are the people who are living dreams they didn't know they had. Dreams they never dreamed. Dreams that came to life because they followed their intuition.

Roses are red Violets are blue Everything's possible Nothing is true.

Women are powerful and dangerous.

My life is a contribution.

It is infinitely easier to suffer in obedience to a human command than to accept suffering as free, responsible men.

I shudder to think where we people of African descent would be without our allies in the international community. It's been our everything, quite frankly.

At bottom, no real object is unpoetical, if the poet knows how to use it properly.

What is clear is that consumers know a calorie isn't a calorie. There are good fats and bad fats and good proteins and bad ones.

Nothing can teach you what it's like to work on a film set, and the best education there can be for an actor is to walk up the street and observe human nature.

But only art and music have the power to bring peace.
